The sandwiches are pretty big - I could only eat half. The only complaint I had was that this particular sandwich was pretty salty, and even my BF who usually likes things salty said it was a bit too salty for him. It could have been a combination of the ingredients that contributed to the saltiness. We do like this place and will come back again to try more sandwiches.

Take 5 offers a lot of variety including breakfast sandwiches, hot sandwiches, soup, dessert case and cookies to name a few. The house made cookies are $1.00. The breakfast sandwich was delish! Meatloaf wrapped with bacon, egg and cheese tucked between a grilled English muffin. It's a filling sandwich for $9.75. I've come to the conclusion that $10.00 is the going rate for a decent breakfast sandwich in Seattle. Take 5 is run by a friendly husband and wife duo.

No one explained there was additional seating which would have been nice. I also think I ordered the wrong sandwich. It was not good. The best part was the bread, which was wonderful. We also ordered chicken nuggets for my granddaughter. She did not like them at all. After tasting them I knew why. The spices they use are great for an adult but not for a child. We mentioned it but we were shrugged off. The "fries " were also very good. The best way to describe them would be thinly cut JoJoes.

The interior is simple, and an open kitchen is always welcome. The cashier was engaging and helped make the selection(s). Extra points for the genius idea to offer a "shorty " for those of us who are indecisive and customarily eat alone. Great way to try a couple of the options! It was still difficult to narrow down my order. But I wound up selecting their best seller Rajin Cajun and the Michael King. Both had a terrific, unique flavor. Cajun. Zippy combo, with enough mayo to warrant use of 4 napkins. Well toasted bread. The sandwich was a bit lopsided, by which I mean I opened the bread to shift the ingredients around to balance out each bite. Just the right amount of spice for me. King. This was the winner. I had to alternate bites between the two sandwiches to decide which was the best. This one wound up being the flavor combo I wanted for that perfect last bite. The line sauce was bright and punchy. The yams and tofu made me wonder why I haven't been incorporating more tofu into my diet. Great crispy roll, and this sandwich was constructed with a bit more care. No shifting required. Pricing is reasonable, but other sandwich shops with an equally unique flair include some type of side (fries, chips, etc) for the same price. They don't offer a shorty, though, which was noteworthy for me and the reason I'll return. Definitely check it out!

I'm aways more likely to choose something I wouldn't make at home, and the dry rubbed tofu, roasted yams, and vegan cardamom-lime sauce fit right into that category. We paid, nabbed a table out front, and our names were soon called. Holy heck, those first few bites were just spectacular. What an interesting flavor combo! My only regret is that pickled onions weren't an option -- they would've added a great umami. My total came to just over $16 with tax and tip. We'll be back!

For that, I am giving you three stars, but for everything else, I give one to two stars. The white rice is usually dry and just does not taste that good. Sesame noodles and are always way too salty. Spam musubi is way too salty (does it really need a salty sauce on top of already salty Spam?). Bok choy greens are not cooked right (they taste chewy) and way too salty. The mac salad is surprisingly not too salty but just bland. Sesame chicken is fried in a super thick batter and is goopy and hard rather than crispy and savory. Same goes for the fried cauliflower.
